Podcast: Doug Rappoport talks his favorite amps & guitars! 

Hands down my favourite player, great stuff!

Doug E Rapps is the shit!! I love his playing. Sometimes his playing reminds me of Ty Tabor of Kings X. Tasty blues, heavy-ass riffage, and just a kickass attitude! He is one of the tops in my book.

Doug is ridiculously good

Thank you, Doug Rappaport, for saying those nice things about Dave Friedman and his commitment,to top quality. I have a Smallbox, it embodies what I wanted at the time I bought it, more of a vintage tone vibe to it than a B.E.,and a tighter bottom than a Dirty Shirley, it's still making me very happy. I always open up anything I buy about ten minutes after I get home,and when I looked inside I saw neatness, twisted pairs galore and some very expensive capacitors and great transformers. It is the closest to a Hiwatt, in the way it is built of any of the other amps I've seen the inside of and when I hear guys make comments like Friedmans aren't hand wired because they use a circuit board for their effects loop and don't understand what a turret board is or who used them for their legendary amps, it angers me. I've experienced Dave's customer service, and I always mention the Friedman quality is if anything underrated. Everybody thinks of Friedman amps as overdogs because of their price and popularity, but they overlook the build quality.Tha k you for reinforcing what I believed all along, people will respect your opinion, they don't know me,and might just slag off when I say they are quality through and through ...

Ps. Speaking of Germany my friend Martin plays in the band Accept

Love both you guys. Great Interview.

Thank you for that interview!!!!!

I bought a BRBS vintage class 3+ because of Dough and cannot be happier! 😊

Doug is the undisputed king of bad-ass bluesy rock playing, great to have him here. Btw, Joey I see that you are a bit concerned about your Les Paul getting out of tune. I've played a Les Paul custom for 10 years, it drove me mad. Thanks to Doug, I switched to a Knaggs and never looked back(Even though he did look back :)). PRS Mccarthy is another option where these design flaws are eliminated and have killer tone. I prefer even S2 Mccarthys to Les Pauls, and I really do not want to start a debate, just a friendly advice.

Jimmy Page had a Custom triple pickup Black Beauty he used for session work until it was stolen during the 1970 tour. Gibson made replicas of it.
